That is preserving any resource fork, and meta-data from hfs file attributes. Also so retains the hidden file that is used by the finder to format the folder view. It doesn't need to be present I believe in order for the re-zipped app to run, however I'd just keep it for now. After you replace the image/changes and other files, just rezip it all. On the mac unzipping it and the unarchive will do the right thing with the __MACOS__ files/folders On Oct 22, 2008, at 12:05 PM, Lukas Renggli wrote:
However if you are using linux then you should be fine, the Squeak.app is just a folder with a bunch of files/folders.
But there is a whole bunch of hidden files in these directories. I guess these must be preserved?
Also the ZIP archive contains a strange hidden __MACOS__ folder. What is it for?
